Do any other members ride motorcycle? I have a few bikes as well. There is a movie that came out last year on the Isle Of Man, with Guy Martin  as the main man. very good , a must if you are into bikes.
Also, there is Moto GP on every sunday arvo for the next three weeks. If off next week to the Malaysian GP the fly streight to Phillip Island for Aussie GP.
For all who dont know, This year is Australian Casey Stoners last year (real shame) as he is retireing from the sport.
If you like machine that travel in exess of 340kpm, then get down th Phillip Island!!
They are absolutyly amazing to watch
I will post some pics when i get back

There are a few of us that ride or did ride.

Will be interesting to see if Stoner races with the V8 super cars

MMM Did Ride
There is  two things wrong with riding
First and foremost  A large percentage of   car drivers seem to think you do not exist !
Second The action of throwing your leg  over the bike,  turns some male brains back to the age of 18

I know of several other members who ride.  I did until recently when I sold my 2008 R1.  I loved it.


If I get another bike it will be something that is a bit more comfortable for us tall folks.

I prefer WSBK and the other superbike championships myself because the bikes are bikes you can go out and buy.  It will be great if Stoner can walk away on a high note, the guy has some talent.  I look forward to your pics!

Here is a trailer for that movie if anyone isn't sure what one it is.  It's a great film in my opinion.
